Welcome!
About PRINT Image Matching
Your EPSON Stylus Photo R300 Series printer includes support for EPSON’s
revolutionary PRINT Image Matching
™ technology. PRINT Image Matching
lets your digital camera and printer work together automatically to produce the
best prints possible. Digital camera manufacturers that support PRINT Image Matching
include EPSON, Casio,
® JVC, ® Konica, ® Kyocera, ® Leica, ® Minolta, ® Nikon, ® Olympus, ®
Panasonic, ® Pentax, ® Ricoh, ® Sanyo, ® and Toshiba. ® Check with your camera’s manufacturer or
visit www.printimagematching.com to find out if PRINT Image Matching technology is
included with your camera.
With PRINT Image Matching, the digital camera manufacturer can set specific printing
options for each camera model. These options include:
■ Contrast, sharpness, and brightness
■ Gamma level, color space, color saturation, and noise reduction
■ Shadow point, highlight point, and color balance
The camera saves this information in each JPEG image file (and TIFF files from
P.I.M. II-enabled cameras). Your printer—along with P.I.M.-enabled software, such as
EPSON Software
™ Film Factory, ™ or the P.I.M. II Plug-in for Adobe ® Photoshop ® —uses the
information to ensure the most accurate image reproduction.
But don’t worry if your camera doesn’t include PRINT Image Matching technology—your
EPSON Stylus Photo R300 series printer gives great photo printing results.
About Exif Print
The Exif (Exchangeable Image File) Print format includes information about your digital
camera settings in JPEG files so your printer and application can use them to create accurate
print settings. Most digital cameras store Exif Print information such as shutter speed,
metering, flash, exposure settings, resolution, and lens use in the JPEG image file. Your
printer—along with EPSON Software Film Factory or P.I.M. II Plug-in—uses the
information to ensure the most accurate image reproduction.
